Title: Removing pen marks from microsuede couch
Post by: Tasty on December 03, 2012, 03:20:20 am

So my little one has managed to draw with pen on the couch this time (last time it was the sheets). Since I can't pop the couch in the wash like I did with the sheets, how do I remove the pen mark?

I've read that you can try rubbing alcohol but where do you buy that from?

The couch colour is a plum/brown colour.

Is it cloth, leather, vinyl, Tasty?

Not sure about the rubbing alcohol but you can buy it at supermarkets in the health and beauty aisle, Isocol and it's in a green bottle.

Goldfish - microseude cloth

Any general advice re cleaning this material would be great too.

Thanks Debbiebillg - will look out for it and try it somewhere discreet first.

My DS done the same thing to my couch when it was brand new :(, I wasn't happy at all.
I just used a damp sponge and whipped it over( although I had my lounge treated before we had it delivered) Luckily my couch is dark brown so it didn't show up much and removed easily :)
